take one premade bangle. because you wont be able to do much in the way of sanding after you have finished the bangle (pendant etc..) should be sanded to a high finished (dont bother buffing and definitely no polish)
in this case i carved a basic out line into the bangle with a scribing tool (you could also use a thick needle or even the back edge of a craft knife but the scribing tool is easier particularly for somthing like this with a curved surface)
i found with carving making a light and shallow line then deepening it with successive strokes was better than trying to create a deeply carved line in one stroke. particularly where accuracy is an issue
once you have carved your design take some well condition and softened clay (in this case i used black) using the back of a craft knife push the clay into the grooves and lines of the carving (think grouting tiles)
remove excess clay.
(here you can see the carved and filled outline of the ammonite and the section i have started to 'fill in'...i'l get to that in a moment)
So decided to write a 2 part tutorial about how I go from taking one of my LEGO builds and cleaning it up and post-editing it for online posting.
You can find the articles below:
Time for a test stamp. This will show you what pieces still need to be carved away, and any places where corrections should be made.
Make any corrections and...you're done! Don't worry if there are a few wonky bits, it adds to the charm of hand-carved stamps :)

I must read it tomorrow once again and see if everything is ok:)
This is some sort of tutorial on how I do my brick wall backgrounds. Though scrapbooking papers can give you a very realistic and easy brick background, sometimes I love to make a "real" wall with texture and color.
The wall is made out of styrofoam, the window is made of foamboard.
Close up of the window cut out. I haven't decided yet how the other side of the window shall look like. In my mind this brick wall with a window is part of an old factory building, with concrete floor perhaps, a lot of dirt and rusty things. The outside wall might just be painted grey or light cream with lots of dirt and weathered, too.
Oh, and look at the "pores" of the bricks here, isn't this beautiful?

Alexis says: I live and work in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and all of the lovely Lune
pictures and crafts take me to an oft-much-needed different world! I
had to scour the street market for hours to find anything remotely
resembling a doily. I ended up with a crocheted throw pillow cover
that I cut apart and then made the ring out of heavy wire... www.blexi.blogspot.com/
Tutorial for these and two more openwork bracelets is available in my shop polymerclaytutorials.etsy.com
This was meant for Xmas, but it took a little longer to edit it than planned. Anyway, I think that it will work nicely for Valentine's
For the tutorial video, please go to www.carlosNmolina.com, select "tutorials/videos" and then the purses button.
Hope you enjoy it!,

I finally finished my stone half walls. This is how I made them:
1. Found two wooden wall art "boxes" at Hobby Lobby and painted them black.
2. Added egg carton pieces cut into stones with craft glue.
3. Painted them dark gray (2 coats) with acrylic craft paint. Let dry.
4. Used gray, brown, and white acrylic craft paint to add color variation/texture. Wipe off most of the paint before brushing over gray stones with lighter shades.
5. Sealed with 2 coats of matte art fixative spray.
6. Added more dry brush of light colors to make them look even (one wall was darker then the other) and get rid of any shine from the spray.

Aqui tenéis el tutorial para hacer las piezas de arcilla polimérica con la tecnica de la falsa cerámica. Espero que os sea útil :o)
La regla de los tercios es una de las más nombradas en fotografía a la hora de componer.
En este vídeo analizo su origen, las ventajas de su uso y las limitaciones que le encuentro.
El tutorial forma parte de un curso sobre composición de más de hora y media de duración que puedes adquirir en mi web: frannieto.es/libros
Si tienes alguna duda o sugerencia será bienvenida.
Choose your fabric and your zipper. The colors can be whatever you want them to be! Also, your thread should complement your colors, as your top thread is going to show on part of the project.
Love all these colours together!

Tutorial Tuesday……Making a composite shot using pieces and parts.
One of the great benefits of night shooting stars in Rocky Mountain National Park is the ability to catch a sunrise amongst some of nature’s most beautiful backdrops. There is just no shortage of foregrounds no matter where you are once you’re there. In this case (as usual) we chose the wrong spot for a colorful sky as the clouds were not cooperating, but that didn’t stop this scene from unfolding. Thanks to Brad for pointing out these wildflowers which made a more interesting foreground than the reflection I was originally going for.
This scene was shot in Moraine Park along the Big Thompson River very close to the rental cabins and last oxbow before leaving this part of the park. Stones Peak is the tall mountain basking in the rising sun. The shot is a blend of three images, two hand held shots taken moments apart capturing the terrain and another for the sky. I knew that there was too little light and too much wind to capture the flowers properly in one shot with acceptable noise, so I chose the easier route of breaking it up into two shots which allowed me to use a lower ISO and while keeping a fast (enough) shutter and aperture for the scene. The first ground shot was focused about 1/3 into the flowers and the other about 1/3 into the brush behind the river.
Blending of the foreground shots was performed in Photoshop using selection/color range from the menus to add a selection set and I carefully zoomed around and added the foreground grass while deselecting the background water and far grass. Once selected I manually brushed in the layer mask. The flat cloudless sky was replaced with another shot I took a few weeks ago near the same time of morning and direction so that it fit the scene. This was masked in by using another selection of the blue sky and refining the mask edge to ensure that the seam between the two shots transitioned correctly. Once combined, I kicked up the saturation on all but green and added a little contrast.
If you're new to photography or Photoshop I realize I glanced over that last section pretty fast. I'll get into more depth in a future post or perhaps kick the dust off my blog and provide a thorough description. Also, it should be noted that I did all this to illustrate the point that often times it's advantageous to create the whole from the sum of the parts, though there are purists out there who the mere mention of Photoshopping something into a scene is a cardinal sin punishable by death. I personally feel that as an art form I'm entitled to modify any photograph as I see fit. It's only an issue when I do so and lie about it or try to hide the fact.
As always I encourage your feedback on my photography whether favorable or constructive and if you have any questions or feedback about my processing techniques I'd like to hear them too.
I´ve been askes many times to make a tutorial about how I repaint my dolls and I finally started to make one.
The first part is done and you can see it here:

Here's where you cut to get the eyes boggled. This makes the eyelid go further back into her head when her eyes are open. Just a tiny square. And you can easily test if you have cut enough by putting just the eyelids back in the faceplate, easy to do. Cut on both sides, equal amounts.

This is an old photo (found here) that I have rejigged using a few of the techniques I have learnt recently.
I also thought it was about time that I had a go at writing a tutorial, so please read on below if you want to find out how I treated the image.
I am sure that a lot of you will know these techniques already, but if you have anything to add (or could suggest a better way of doing things) please chip in. Also if anyone wants me to elaborate on anything please say, as, like I said, it's my first attempt at writing a tutorial so it may go over some people's heads.
If you like this one then I may have a go at writing some more later on and putting them in a set together.
About year ago I saw Thoy Bradley made vines tutorial www.mocpages.com/moc.php/276976 but it involved some cuting of the pieces which comes hard to me to do it so I searched some other solution. Maybe it is not rigid like Thoy's but it satisfies me as it is nearer to the pure technique...This is my first tutorial, so I would appreciate ANY comments :)
It is string secured with half-pin and 1x1 round plate on the end.
Tie a knot around the pin and than pull the string through it (make it sit in that little "cut" in pin) and secure the string with 1x1 round plate. Third picture represents how it is connected to the moc later.
Other end is a bit tricky. After you beaded the bamboo bricks, secure it like in first two pictures in second row. Last picture is combination of dark bluish gray pin and 1x1 round brick. Work on jour zen skills and make your moc green :)
For Monday's Weekly Photo Challenge and Thursday Retreads Group. Many of you asked how I "did" this so I thought I would take today's retread to give you a brief tutorial.
Tips on shooting a panorama
1. Shoot in manual so you have control over aperture, shutter speed and exposure.
(For those of you that have a "point and shoot", your camera is going to be making the exposure decisions so be careful of things like bright sky going to darker sky, light versus shade, etc.) (The first one I shot, I was shooting my house from the street and was shooting in Aperture Priority. I had sky, sky with tree, tree, tree with house, etc.. The camera was making exposure decisions and my sky turned up different hues in each shot. The good news is, the tree was up close. If everything is "far away" like in the lake panorama, you'll have better luck.)
2. Shoot in vertical (or portrait) format so you have more room to crop.
3. Shoot by moving your body instead of your head. If you have a zoom lens, don't zoom in and out. Replant your feet every three or so shots as you move through the image. (Monday's image was nine shots turning from left to right about 240 degrees, but you can do a panorama in as little as two shots.)
4. Most important! Leave "at least" 20% of the last image in your next image.
TIP ~ So you're out shooting a lot that day and decide to take a series of shots you're plan on putting into a panorama. First, take a picture of your hand. Yeah, your hand right in front of the camera. Shoot the panorama. Now, take another picture of your hand. When you get home and put all your pics on your computer, you'll have these funky looking pictures of your hand but you'll know they're at the beginning and the end of your panorama.
Processing...
Most processing programs have the ability to stitch your photos together automatically. Look under Help in your program and type in the word "photomerge". Or go to the web, type in your program and photomerge.
TIP ~ When processing, don't edit any of your (panorama) pictures in any way until you have stitched them together.
Let's use this page as a forum.
Additional tips/tricks... please post them here so we all can learn!
Questions? Please post them here also.
And PLEASE, if you do a panorama, please copy it here! We'd all love to see it!
Happy Shooting!
